Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in cancelling the bail of the accused-appellants without a proper application from the State for such cancellation. Citing Raghubir Singh and Others vs. State of Bihar, (1986) 4 SCC 481, the Court reiterated that bail can only be cancelled under specific circumstances such as misuse of liberty or interference with the investigation. The Court set aside the High Court's order and granted bail to the accused-appellants, allowing the State to file a fresh application for cancellation if warranted.
